Research Focus

Rashid Bashir’s research group is developing micro and nanoscale sensors for early diagnostics of cancer and infectious diseases. He is very active in bioengineering education and was the principal investigator of the NIH NCI Alliance for Nanotechnology in Cancer-funded training grant. His research integrates biology and medicine with micro and nanotechnology in two broad areas: how micro/nanotechnology can help solve problems in life sciences (diagnostics and therapeutics) and how life science can help solve issues in micro/nanotechnology (bio-inspired self-assembly). His research projects span from solid-state nanopores to 3D fabrication due to his interest in bionanotechnology, biosensors and bioelectronics, and nanotechnology.
